“You can tell he has been protected and loved by his mama, Jill,” Sagley said. “He has natural ‘nervous boxer’ instincts, so he would not do well with small children.”

He’s also not good with cats, but does well with other dogs, and is quite submissive. Jack would enjoy a family atmosphere with older children, and he loves to play but also can frolic on his own.

He’s also a cuddler.

“This is a boy looking for love,” Sagley said.

Both dogs are house trained and completely vetted. They’ve been spayed/neutered and are current on all inoculations, including rabies. They also have been dewormed and kept current on their heart worm, flea and tick preventatives.

Saddlebags

Saddlebags, whose musculature resembles a bull terrier, was named for her dark brindle patches that resemble the shape of actual saddlebags.

She was abandoned at Cross Creeks Wildlife Refuge, where rangers called the Stewart County Faithful Friends Animal Rescue, which picked her up.

“She was so traumatized that it took a week with the rescue and the rangers working together to catch her,” said Rosemary Sherman of the organization. “She has always been friendly with dogs and people, but does not get along with cats at all.”

She loves to run and play and would make a good Frisbee dog. She likes children and seems to seek their attention foremost.

While she has been microchipped, she gets evasive when frightened, so she would do best in a fenced-in yard.

“She’s very affectionate when given attention,” Sherman said.
